It low-key blew my mind.
You stick it in the oven and wait until it comes to temperature, and thats it.
I recently tested this revolutionary turkey, and I must say I was genuinely impressed.
I certainly had my reservations.
Would the white or dark meat end up dry?
Would it take all day to roast?
Would the skin crisp, and would it be flavorful?
I was excited about the idea but wasnt sure it would work in execution.
The folks at Butterball have clearly done their R&D on this one.
The bird is injection brined, making it flavorful and just salty enough without any added ingredients.
The temperature and cook time range were spot on.
Just remember that youll need four to five hours to cook it in the oven, albeit totally hands-off.
